WHAT OTHERS SAY 



Miss Eila V. Baines. Woodhaven, L. I. 



Like so many others 1 was greatly disappointed when I 

 received Rose bushes ordered from you, but my disappoint- 

 ments were very soon supplanted by joy when I found the 

 results derived from same. JOHN F. S. 



Ella V. Baines. Butler, Pa. 



I desire to say that your Roses, as sent last year, are 

 the best I have ever seen, and are doing very nicely for 

 me and still blooming. WM. E. M. 



Miss Ella V. Barnes. Arlington, N. J. 



In sending you this order I feel that I ought to thank 

 you for the order of Roses which I received from you in 

 the fall of 1917. They were all in first-class condition 

 when I received them, and what was more to me that they 

 were all true to name. I have bought Roses from other 

 houses before, but there have always been quite a few in 

 their order not true to name. CHRIST C. 



Miss Ella V. Baines. Teponsha, Mich. 



My plants came yesterday and they are splendid. The 

 "Bargain Set" of six Roses, in the two-year size, is truly 

 a bargain. I paid another nursery seventy-five cents and 

 a dollar for no better plants, and the other plants are just 

 as good. I had worlds of blooms last summer from my 

 one-year size Roses, and they are big plants now, with 

 well-established roots and ready for this year's blooms. 



(Mrs.) ZOE S. 



Miss Ella V. Baines. Sealy, Texas. 

 I consider your Roses the best I have bought any place. 

 Mrs. A. G. P. 



Miss Baines. Lorain, Ohio. 



The little Rose bushes I received from you last year as 

 a premium from McCall's magazine were lovely. They all 

 grew and bloomed until frost. MRS. THOS. W. 



Miss Baines.

 got from you are wonderful. They are 

 MISS A. L. M. 



Miss Baines. Silver City, N. Car. 



I sent for your Gem Rose collection last spring and had 

 as high as fifteen blooms on a bush at a time. 



MRS. J. MERRITT S. 



Miss Baines. Wilmington, Del. 



Allow me to state that I bought Roses from you about a 

 year ago and found them more satisfactory than the ones 

 I bought in the east. Every one grew and they were fine.

Dear Miss Baines. Osseo, Wis. 



My face has grown wrinkled and my hair has turned 

 white since I first saw your ad. of that sweetest little girl 

 stumbling along but holding fast to her flowers. In my age 

 am also holding fast to flowers. MRS. MARY J. S. E. 



Miss Baines. Rochester, N. Y. 



We like your little Rose plants, which have done 

 bravely, even as one year olds. They are ever-bloomers, 

 a " nflht. GRACE 0. 



Miss Ella V. Baines. Seabreeze, Lynnhaven, Va. 



I beg to advise that Roses and shrubs were received in 

 good order. I am more than pleased with the manner in 

 which you filled the order and shipped them. The two- 

 year and one-year-old Roses are all growing well. Some 

 are now blooming. I am so well pleased that I hope to 

 give you future orders for Roses, etc. 



Thanking you for your prompt and kind attention to my 

 order. Respectfully, EVELYN C. H. 



Miss Ella V. Baines. Meridian, Miss. 



Please send me a lot of extra catalogues. My Roses have 

 turned out to be beautiful and naturally people want to 

 know where I buy them, and that is why I cannot keep 

 a catalogue. MRS. I. M. M. 



Miss Ella V. Baines. San Antonio, Texas. 



I am so thankful for my Rose garden which, by the way, 

 is our back yard, that I want you to know that it is such 

 a source of joy to ourselves and friends, and so many sad 

 eyes have beheld them as their own and found comfort, and 

 little children have admired and promptly received them in 

 their chubby hands, and all the while they grow and 

 bloom and smile upon us. I thank God first and then you. 



MRS. DON Y. 



Dear Madam. Salt Lake City, Utah. 



We had wonderful success with your Roses in southern 

 Utah, especially the American Beauty climber. In one 

 year it was fifteen feet high and bloomed the whole sum- 

 mer. MRS. ALMA C. L. 



Ella V. Baines. Rison, Ark. 



Received your four little roses and they are growing 

 nicely, also the four Mums. Other Roses of yours of 

 last year are doing splendid and the Killarney and Bessie 

 Brown I got from you a few years ago are the most beau- 

 tiful things in this country. Your little Roses have 

 splendid roots and I have not had one to die. B. B.
